Newark Park has a long history of welcoming dogs into the garden and estate. Today there’s plenty of space for dogs and their owners to enjoy around the wider estate. Find out below what you need to know for you and your dog to get the most from your visit, such as where dogs can (and can't) go and where to find water bowls and dog waste bins.
We’ve been working on making it easier for you to find out how dog-friendly your visit will be before you and your four-legged-friend arrive. To help with this, we've created a new pawprint rating system and given all the places in our care a rating. You can find this information in the National Trust members’ handbook.
Newark Park is a two pawprint rated place.
These places have water bowls, dog bins and dog-friendly walks. You’ll be able to take your dog into some areas, but not everywhere. If there’s a food and beverage outlet, you can have a cup of tea with them, probably outside. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.
The King family at Newark kept many pet dogs during their time here in the late Victorian period. These pets were later buried in the garden and marked with small headstones. The last tenants to live at Newark Park enjoyed keeping several pet Great Danes.
Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome everywhere in Newark Park’s garden and estate.
Our definition of close or effective control is:
Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times in all areas of Newark Park.
The only place your dog can't go is inside the house, where only assistance dogs are welcome.
We’ve worked with our partner Forthglade to come up with this Canine Code, which helps to make sure everyone can enjoy their day:
A water bowl is available by the visitor reception and outside the catering pavilion.
Spare dog waste bags are available from visitor reception. A dog waste bin can be found in the car park and on the path from visitor reception to the estate walks.
